Brave, Firefox, Safari: Only Two Survived This Fingerprinting Test |...

Firefox vs Brave fingerprinting comparison: How well do privacy browsers protect against tracking? Canvas, WebGL, and VPN detection tested.

I wouldn’t go as far as to call it a mirage or a marketing gimmick, that is being hyperbolic. Brave’s fingerprinting protection certainly does have its uses. But it’s very weak when compared to the protections you can get in something like Firefox when it comes to these 10 thousand dollar systems that some services used to fingerprint you.

Brave struggles pretty badly on some of the more advanced fingerprinting techniques, however, I think that’s intentional, because the way they implement it, it’s not supposed to break the web. But from my own use case of visiting almost every site known to man for development, I’ve never had anything break with advanced fingerprinting enabled on Firefox, so I’m not exactly sure what Brave’s game is here on that.

But again, if you’re a purest, you’re obviously going to use Firefox, but Braves protection are adequate for your everyday needs pretty much. Unless you freak out that fingerprint.com can identify brave users every single time, there’s no need to switch.
